 4.2 "My application needs exclusive control of hardware channels"

 Primarily this requirement arises from cases where a DMA engine driver
 is being used to support device-to-memory operations.  A channel that is
 performing these operations cannot, for many platform specific reasons,
 be shared.  For these cases the dma_request_channel() interface is
 provided.
